Powers John’s Lane Whiskey
Jameson gets all the glory, but it’s this enterprising distillery that actually owns Ireland. Some have even called it the Irish Pappy Van Winkle. It’s a bargain, for what the 12-year spirit delivers: He’ll enjoy layers of flavor including leather, tobacco, and vanilla and honey.

Brew-spiration
Give dad everything he needs to create a custom brew at home with a kit from the Brooklyn Brew Shop. You can’t go wrong with the Simcoe Single Hop IPA made with Pacific Northwest hops, the crowd-pleasing Grapefruit Honey Ale, or the wheat-free Hard Cider.

Viva La Sous Vide
- Anova Precision Cooker, from $163
Kiss that clunky slow cooker goodbye. This compact device from Anova slowly cooks meats, vegetables, and even eggs at the perfect temperature for melt-in-your mouth meals (like this Beef Bourguignon). Thanks to the app, dad can monitor the temperature from anywhere instead of being tied to the grill or stove. Pair it with half-gallon reusable bags for waste-free meals.

What’s on Tap
Swing by dad’s favorite craft brewery and fill up this half-gallon growler to serve this Father’s Day. The double-wall vacuum insulated growler has a CO2 regulator so no beer ever goes flat. Take it camping for cold fireside beverages or use it to keep rotating taps at home.

A Gift with Kick
Any dad who would carry hot sauce with him everywhere if he could will love this homemade hot sauce kit. The Forager’s Blend uses chipotle, pequin, and guajillo peppers for a fiery red sauce that practically begs to be drizzled onto scrambled eggs and chicken wings. Made with habanero, piri piri, and Anaheim peppers, the Grove Blend is a yellow hot sauce with notes of citrus and herbs that melds deliciously with Mexican food.

On the Rocks
- Spherical Ice Tray, $10
